Crushed Velvet

28 February 2013

You might not know it yet but I kind of have a little thing with velvet. It pretty much started when I was in elementary school, I don't know how but I acquired a ridiculous amount of the fabric in dresses, tops and yes, even pants (I even made my barbie matching clothes, oh dear). Obviously velvet and I lost touch over the years and it reappeared about 5 years ago in the form of a crazy vintage skirt from my grandmother, it had potential, I hacked it off and made an adorable skater skirt and since then we've been 'friendly'. Until I got this jacket, that's then we became more than just friends, colorful and soft as butter - forget leather, let's talk velvet.

Gonna be super honest here Megs - I never would have thought about velvet, until I saw this post. How incredibly chic you have made velvet. The last time I wore velvet probably was when I was young girl, in the form of a Sunday dress or something. I now think I might have to make some serious reconsiderations regarding velvet. I looove how you've styled it here! :)
